How about a book on how to set up your own #Mastodon server? Is that in the pipeline?

Thought about it, but no. Mastodon is a beast.

Watching alternative implementations to see which is the first to full usability & maintainability.

Not a book exactly, but my decades of notes on securing servers and setting up postfix may as well be!
These days, given an empty debian vps, rDNS and less than two hours, you can have an instance of any/all of several fedi things running with a further few mouse clicks using YUNOhost. During the initial setup, you end up with postfix, clamav, dovecot and roundcube webmail by default.
I'm still giddy with the simplicity every time I set one up.
Edit: fine for a hobbyist or very SMB, not a big org or important production.
